Bronx, New York-born singer and songwriter Shaliek came from a musical family, and that led to him performing virtually his whole life. He won multiple times at “Showtime at The Apollo” and soon he was collaborating with music heavyweights Alicia Keys, Bryan Michael Cox, The Underdoggs and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis just to name a few. “I remember dreaming of working with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis and the next thing you know I’m in the studio with these guys working on my debut album. It was magical”, Shaliek recalls.
Now Shaliek is taking his talents to the front of the stage and has completed the album Blood. Sweat. Tears. And his expressive, dramatic vocals combined with solid songwriting, make him an artist to watch. Check out his debut single, “The Past,” which we’re proud to feature as our newest SoulTracks First Listen.
